    I was just wondering which body style everyone prefered the most. Just wanted to take a quick survey. I personally like the 69.5/70, and I think the 71 too. The ones with the small bumpers the best.

    You should do a Poll on this.

    I think the '71-72 Grabbers (and Comets) look the best, with the '73 being a close runner-up...

    71*72 gets my vote. not a fan of the big bumpers.. in 73 they started smogging engines. i do kinda like the almost big but still kinda small bumpers of the 73 though.

    I'm partial to the 73 Comet. Though I do love my 72 Sprint. I have to admit, I like the small bumper cars the best. The semi big bumper on the front of the 73, is awesome in my book.....

    I like the small bumper cars! I have modified 70' would like to have a stock 71-72 Grabber (Somehow I don't believe I could ever leave anything stock)

    I like the big bumpers, as I put in TL's poll.

    Mavericks look better with small bumpers, Comets look better with big bumpers. Could be I'm biased, I'm much more familiar with 74 Comets than anything else... considering it was my parents primary car after I was born...
